Description

  The present invention relates to a polyester resin and a method for producing the same. More specifically, the present invention relates to a polyester resin that exhibits physical properties such as high heat resistance, chemical resistance, and impact resistance, and has excellent appearance characteristics, high transparency, and excellent molding characteristics, and a method for producing the polyester resin.

  In general, polyester resins obtained by reacting aromatic and aliphatic dicarboxylic acids with diol compounds have excellent physical and chemical properties, solubility and flexibility in general-purpose solvents, adhesion to a wide range of materials, and coating operations. It is used for various purposes such as fibers, films, and adhesives.

  However, the polyesters known so far have insufficient chemical resistance to various substances that are exposed in real life, such as surfactants, and are unsuitable for use in certain applications. It had characteristics and impact strength was not sufficient. Therefore, in order to solve such a problem of polyester, various starting materials, monomers, additives and the like are used in the synthesis process, and a method of mixing with other resins has been used. In particular, synthetic fibers or synthetic resin products obtained from polyester have previously had a yellow appearance, but additives such as cobalt-based colorants are used to conceal or neutralize such appearance characteristics. The method used was generally used.

  On the other hand, in the synthesis of polyester, depending on the reactivity of each raw material in the esterification reaction or transesterification reaction, or the degree of vaporization of each raw material in the polycondensation reaction process, the degree of polymerization of the final polyester resin or resin It is known that the proportions of the residues of the respective raw materials present in the main chain are different. In particular, when a polyester resin is synthesized using a dihydric or trihydric alcohol as a diol component, there are problems that the reaction time is greatly increased and the reaction yield is greatly decreased.

  Recently, a method of synthesizing a polyester resin using an alcohol such as 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol or isosorbide as a reactant has been known. According to this method, by using a dihydric alcohol, There is a problem that it is not easy to increase the reaction yield, and it is difficult to greatly improve the degree of polymerization of the synthesized resin. In other words, when isosorbide or the like is used in order to improve physical properties such as heat resistance, the degree of polymerization decreases or the amount of raw materials remaining without participating in the reaction greatly increases, so that the final synthesized polyester resin has low resistance. There is a problem in that it has impact properties or durability and the appearance characteristics can be greatly deteriorated.

  Not only that, some of the polyester resins known so far do not greatly reduce the viscosity during extrusion at high temperatures, and are difficult to mold into a final product with a uniform thickness. The problem that it was not easy to manufacture the product of the area was exposed.

  From the above, it is possible to increase the efficiency of the polymerization reaction, increase the residual rate of the raw materials used in the final product, and have improved physical properties and excellent appearance characteristics, and excellent moldability when manufacturing the final product. Development is needed for methods that can provide the polyester resins shown.

  The present invention provides a polyester resin which exhibits physical properties such as high heat resistance, chemical resistance and impact resistance, and has excellent appearance characteristics, high transparency and excellent molding characteristics.

  Further, the present invention provides a polyester resin that can increase the efficiency of the polymerization reaction, increase the residual ratio of the raw materials used in the final product, and provide a polyester resin having improved physical properties and excellent appearance characteristics. A manufacturing method is provided.

  The present invention includes a residue of a dicarboxylic acid component comprising terephthalic acid; and a residue of a diol component comprising 5 to 60 mol% isosorbide, 10 to 80 mol% cyclohexanedimethanol, and the remaining amount of other diol compounds; A polyester resin having an intrinsic viscosity of 0.5 to 1.0 dl / g and having a melt viscosity at 280 ° C. and a shear rate of 300 rad / s of 50% or less compared to the melt viscosity at a shear rate of 1 rad / s. provide.

  Further, the present invention provides a diol component containing 5 to 60 mol% isosorbide, 10 to 80 mol% cyclohexanedimethanol, and the remaining amount of another diol compound in the presence of an esterification reaction catalyst containing a zinc-based compound, A step of esterifying a dicarboxylic acid component containing an acid, a step of adding a phosphorus stabilizer when the esterification reaction has progressed 80% or more, and a step of polycondensation reaction of the esterification product. The manufacturing method of the polyester resin containing is provided.

  Hereinafter, the polyester resin and the method for producing the polyester resin according to specific embodiments of the invention will be described in more detail.

  According to one embodiment of the invention, a residue of a dicarboxylic acid component comprising terephthalic acid; and a diol component comprising 5 to 60 mol% isosorbide, 10 to 80 mol% cyclohexanedimethanol, and the balance of other diol compounds. A residue having an intrinsic viscosity of 0.5 to 1.0 dl / g, a melt viscosity at a shear rate of 300 rad / s at 280 ° C., compared with a melt viscosity at a shear rate of 1 rad / s, 50% or less A polyester resin can be provided.

  The present inventors have conducted research on the synthesis of polyesters having improved physical properties, and as shown in the production method described later, using an esterification reaction catalyst containing a zinc-based compound, At the end, for example, when the reaction has progressed 80% or more, a phosphorus stabilizer is added to the reaction solution to polycondensate the resultant esterification reaction, resulting in high heat resistance, chemical resistance, impact resistance, etc. The present invention was completed by confirming through experiments that a polyester resin exhibiting the above physical properties and having excellent appearance characteristics, high transparency, and excellent molding characteristics can be provided.

  As known so far, isosorbide is a dihydric alcohol that exhibits low reactivity, and a polyester resin produced using this can improve physical properties such as heat resistance. When used, isosorbide remaining without participating in the esterification reaction was excessively generated, and it was not easy for the final polyester resin of the synthesis result to have commercial properties.

  On the other hand, the polyester resin is synthesized through a specific manufacturing method to be described later, and can contain various amounts of isosorbide. In particular, while containing isosorbide at a relatively high content, The physical properties applicable to the product can be secured.

  In the process of synthesizing the polyester resin, the amount of unreacted raw material that did not participate in the reaction is relatively small, and high reaction efficiency and degree of polymerization can be exhibited. Accordingly, the polyester resin can have an intrinsic viscosity of 0.5 to 1.0 dl / g.

  In particular, the polyester resin can have a low melt viscosity as compared with polyester resins known so far at the time of extrusion molding due to its high molecular structure and high heat resistance. Workability and formability can be shown.

  Specifically, the melt viscosity of the polyester at a temperature of 280 ° C. and a shear rate of 300 rad / s is 50% or less of the melt viscosity of the polyester at a temperature of 280 ° C. and a shear rate of 1 rad / s. It's okay. That is, when the polyester is extruded at a high temperature, the melt viscosity can be lowered to a degree sufficient for resin molding.

  The polyester may have a melt viscosity of 480 Pa · s to 600 Pa · s at a temperature of 280 ° C. and a shear rate of 1 rad / s, and 200 Pa · s to 280 Pa · s at a temperature of 280 ° C. and a shear rate of 300 rad / s. It can have a melt viscosity of s.

  On the other hand, as described above, the polyester resin can have a low melt viscosity characteristic at the time of high-temperature extrusion molding, whereas a state in which no shear force is applied before or after extrusion, that is, a shear rate. Is 0 rad / s, it can have a melt viscosity above a certain level, for example, 500 Pa · s to 600 Pa · s. Because the polyester resin has such melt viscosity characteristics, the final molded product can have improved shape stability with a more uniform thickness after extrusion molding. It can be easily applied to manufacturing.

  The melt viscosity means the melt viscosity of the manufactured product at the discharge portion at a specific temperature during the processing of the polymer resin. Since the melt viscosity of the product is dependent on temperature, shear rate, and shear stress, the stress and shear rate of the polymer in the discharged temperature range are measured and applied to the following general formula 1. Can be obtained.

  Meanwhile, according to another embodiment of the invention, in the presence of an esterification reaction catalyst containing a zinc-based compound, 5 to 60 mol% of isosorbide, 10 to 80 mol% of cyclohexanedimethanol, and the remaining amount of other diol compounds are added. A step of esterifying a diol component containing and a dicarboxylic acid component containing terephthalic acid, a step of adding a phosphorus-based stabilizer when the esterification reaction proceeds 80% or more, and the esterification reaction product A method for producing a polyester resin comprising a step of polycondensation reaction can be provided.

  According to the method for producing the polyester resin, an esterification reaction catalyst containing a zinc compound is used, and at the end of the esterification reaction, for example, a phosphorus stabilizer is added to the reaction liquid when the reaction has progressed by 80% or more. When the resultant product of the esterification reaction is polycondensed, a polyester resin exhibiting physical properties such as high heat resistance, chemical resistance and impact resistance and having excellent appearance characteristics, high transparency, and excellent molding characteristics can be provided. .

  In particular, the polyester resin provided by the above production method can have a low melt viscosity as compared with the polyester resins known so far at the time of extrusion molding due to its molecular structural characteristics, together with high heat resistance, Relatively high processability and moldability of the resin can be shown.

  Specifically, the polyester resin provided by the manufacturing method can have an intrinsic viscosity of 0.5 to 1.0 dl / g.

  Further, the melt viscosity of the polyester at a temperature of 280 ° C. and a shear rate of 300 rad / s may be 50% or less of the melt viscosity of the polyester at a temperature of 280 ° C. and a shear rate of 1 rad / s. That is, when the polyester is extruded at a high temperature, the melt viscosity can be lowered to a degree sufficient for resin molding.

  The polyester provided by the above production method may have a melt viscosity of 480 Pa · s to 600 Pa · s at a temperature of 280 ° C. and a shear rate of 1 rad / s, and a temperature of 280 ° C. and a shear rate of 300 rad / s. Then, it can have a melt viscosity of 200 Pa · s to 280 Pa · s.

  And, as described above, the polyester resin provided by the production method can have a low melt viscosity characteristic at the time of high-temperature extrusion molding, whereas no shear force is applied before or after extrusion. In a state, that is, in a state where the shear rate is 0 rad / s, it can have a melt viscosity of a certain level or more, for example, 500 Pa · s to 600 Pa · s.

  Because the polyester resin has such melt viscosity characteristics, the final molded product can have improved shape stability with a more uniform thickness after extrusion molding. It can be easily applied to manufacturing.

  On the other hand, by using the zinc-based catalyst and adding a phosphorus-based stabilizer at a specific time, the esterification reaction is performed within a relatively short time, specifically within 400 minutes, preferably 200 minutes. High reaction efficiency can be exhibited while being carried out within ˜330 minutes, more preferably within 230 minutes to 310 minutes. As described above, as the esterification reaction time is shortened, the contact time at a high temperature is shortened, and the color of the produced polyester resin can be improved, which is advantageous in terms of the energy saving effect accompanying the shortening of the reaction time. It is.

  Moreover, in the manufacturing method of the said polyester resin, the unreacted residual amount which did not participate in the said esterification reaction in the said diol component or dicarboxylic acid component may be less than 20%. Such a high reaction efficiency is considered to depend on the use of the zinc-based catalyst and the point of addition of the phosphorus-based stabilizer. As described above, in the method for producing the polyester resin, the diol component or dicarboxylic acid component of the reaction raw material largely participates in the reaction, and the amount of the remaining unreacted material becomes relatively small, thereby being synthesized. The polyester resin has the above-described excellent physical properties and can be easily applied to commercial products.

  Specific contents regarding the dicarboxylic acid component containing terephthalic acid, cyclohexanedimethanol, isosorbide, and other diol compounds are as described above.

  In the esterification reaction, a certain oligomer can be formed by reacting the dicarboxylic acid component and the diol component. In the method for producing the polyester resin, an oligomer having appropriate physical properties and molecular weight can be formed with high efficiency by using the zinc-based catalyst and specifying the addition point of the phosphorus-based stabilizer.

Such an esterification reaction step may be performed by reacting the dicarboxylic acid component and the diol component at a pressure of 0 to 10.0 kg / cm ² and a temperature of 150 to 300 ° C. The esterification reaction conditions can be appropriately adjusted according to the specific characteristics of the polyester to be produced, the molar ratio of the dicarboxylic acid component and the glycol, or the process conditions. Specifically, as a preferable example of the esterification reaction condition, a pressure of 0 to 5.0 kg / cm ² , more preferably 0.1 to 3.0 kg / cm ² ; 200 to 270 ° C., more preferably 240 to 240 ° C. A temperature of 260 ° C. is mentioned.

  The esterification reaction may be performed in a batch type or a continuous type, and each raw material may be charged separately, but may be charged in a slurry form in which a dicarboxylic acid component is mixed with a diol component. preferable. A diol component such as isosorbide having a solid content at room temperature can be dissolved in water or ethylene glycol, and then mixed with a dicarboxylic acid component such as terephthalic acid to form a slurry. Alternatively, after isosorbide melts at 60 ° C. or higher, a dicarboxylic acid component such as terephthalic acid and other diol components may be mixed to form a slurry. Moreover, water can be additionally added to a slurry in which a copolymer diol component such as a dicarboxylic acid component, isosorbide, and ethylene glycol is mixed, thereby contributing to an increase in the fluidity of the slurry.

  The molar ratio of the dicarboxylic acid component and the diol component participating in the esterification reaction may be 1: 1.05 to 1: 3.0. If the molar ratio of the latter in the dicarboxylic acid component: diol component is less than 1.05, the unreacted dicarboxylic acid component may remain during the polymerization reaction, and the transparency of the resin may decrease. When the ratio exceeds 3.0, the polymerization reaction rate may be lowered, or the productivity of the resin may be reduced.

  On the other hand, in the method for producing the polyester resin, a phosphorus-based stabilizer can be added at the end stage of the first and second esterifications, for example, when each of the esterification reactions has progressed 80% or more. The point at which the esterification reaction has progressed 80% or more means the point at which the dicarboxylic acid component has reacted 80% or more, and can be measured through analysis of the content of the carboxylic acid that is the terminal group of the dicarboxylic acid component.

  The phosphorus stabilizer can be used in an amount of 10 ppm to 300 ppm, preferably 20 ppm to 200 ppm relative to the weight of the resin to be synthesized. Specific examples of such phosphorus stabilizer are as described above.

  Thus, when the esterification reaction has progressed 80% or more, the amount of unreacted raw material can be greatly reduced and the degree of polymerization of the resin can be improved by introducing the phosphorus stabilizer. Thus, the produced polyester can have the above-described properties such as high heat resistance, high viscosity, excellent impact strength, and specific melt viscosity properties.

  Meanwhile, the esterification reaction may be performed in the presence of an esterification reaction catalyst containing a zinc-based compound. Such a catalyst can be used at 1 to 100 ppm based on the central metal atom in the synthesized polyester resin. Specific examples of such a zinc-based catalyst include zinc acetate, zinc acetate dihydrate, Zinc chloride, zinc sulfate, zinc sulfide, zinc carbonate, zinc citrate, zinc gluconate, or mixtures thereof. If the content of the zinc-based catalyst is too small, the efficiency of the esterification reaction is hardly improved, and the amount of reactants that have not participated in the reaction may be greatly increased. Moreover, when there is too much content of the said zinc-type catalyst, the external appearance physical property of the polyester resin manufactured may fall.

  The step of poly-condensation reaction of the esterification reaction product is carried out by subjecting the esterification reaction product of the dicarboxylic acid component and the diol component to a temperature of 150 to 300 ° C. and a reduced pressure condition of 600 to 0.01 mmHg. And reacting for 1 to 24 hours.

  Such a polycondensation reaction is performed at a reaction temperature of 150 to 300 ° C, preferably 200 to 290 ° C, more preferably 260 to 280 ° C; and 600 to 0.01 mmHg, preferably 200 to 0.05 mmHg, more preferably 100 Under reduced pressure condition of ˜0.1 mmHg. By applying the reduced pressure condition of the polycondensation reaction, the by-product glycol of the polycondensation reaction can be removed out of the system. When the polycondensation reaction is outside the range of the reduced pressure condition of 400 to 0.01 mmHg, the removal of by-products may be insufficient.

  Further, when the polycondensation reaction occurs outside the temperature range of 150 to 300 ° C., if the condensation polymerization reaction proceeds at 150 ° C. or less, the by-product glycol of the polycondensation reaction cannot be effectively removed out of the system. In some cases, the intrinsic viscosity of the final reaction product is low, and the physical properties of the produced polyester resin may be lowered. When the reaction proceeds at 300 ° C. or higher, the appearance of the produced polyester resin is yellowed. The possibility of being increased. The polycondensation reaction can proceed for a necessary time until the intrinsic viscosity of the final reaction product reaches an appropriate level, for example, an average residence time of 1 to 24 hours.

  Meanwhile, the method for producing the polyester resin composition may further include a step of additionally adding a polycondensation catalyst. Such a polycondensation catalyst may be added to the product of the esterification reaction or transesterification reaction before the start of the polycondensation reaction, and on the mixed slurry containing the diol component and the dicarboxylic acid component before the esterification reaction. It may be added and may be added during the esterification reaction step.

  As the polycondensation catalyst, a titanium compound, a germanium compound, an antimony compound, an aluminum compound, a tin compound, or a mixture thereof can be used. Examples of the titanium compound and the germanium compound are as described above.

The glass obtained when the polyester resins obtained in Examples and Comparative Examples were annealed at 300 ° C. for 5 minutes, cooled to room temperature, and then scanned again at a heating rate of 10 ° C./min (2nd Scan). The transition temperature (Glass-rubber transition temperature: Tg) was measured.

4). Monomer reaction rate The amount of unreacted carboxylic acid end groups was measured by a titration method to determine the monomer reaction rate used in Examples and Comparative Examples. Specifically, 0.1 g of the sample in Examples and Comparative Examples was added to 10 mL of benzyl alcohol, dissolved at about 200 ° C., a phenol red indicator was added, and titrated with 0.1 N NaOH, and the —COOH terminal The amount of groups was quantified.

  The compositions of the resins of the examples and comparative examples and the results of the experimental examples are shown in Tables 1 and 2 below.

  As shown in Table 1, 80% or more of the reactant raw material (monomer) used was involved in the production process of the polyester of the example, and the reaction was completed within 259 to 310 minutes. Was confirmed.

  The polyesters of the examples have a relatively high intrinsic viscosity, for example, 60% by weight of isosorbide in the diol component, even when the content of isosorbide having relatively low reactivity is greatly increased. %, An intrinsic viscosity of 0.53 dl / g can be secured.

  In addition, the melt viscosity of the polyester of the above example at a temperature of 280 ° C. and a shear rate of 300 rad / s is 50% or less compared to the melt viscosity at a temperature of 280 ° C. and a shear rate of 1 rad / s, that is, The polyesters of Examples were confirmed to have a melt viscosity that can be lowered to a level sufficient for resin molding during extrusion molding at high temperatures.

  In addition, the polyester resin of the above example exhibits a melt viscosity of 511 Pa · s to 545 Pa · s in a state where no shear force is applied before or after extrusion, that is, in a state where the shear rate is 0 rad / s. The point was confirmed. In other words, after extrusion molding, the polyester resin of the above example can have an improved shape stability with a more uniform thickness after final molding, and it is easy to produce a large-capacity or large-area molded product. It is applicable to.

  As shown in Table 2, in the comparative example, when the content of isosorbide, which is inferior in reactivity, is greatly increased, the intrinsic viscosity of the synthesized polyester is greatly reduced. Specifically, in the diol component, In Comparative Examples 2 and 3 in which isosorbide was used at 35 wt% and 70 wt%, respectively, it was confirmed that the intrinsic viscosity of the polyester decreased to less than 0.45 dl / g.

  Moreover, even when using a phosphorus stabilizer, it was confirmed that when added at the initial stage of the reaction, the effect of shortening the reaction time was slight and the monomer reaction rate compared to the reaction time was not so high ( Comparative examples 2 and 3).

  The melt viscosity of the polyester of the comparative example at a temperature of 280 ° C. and a shear rate of 300 rad / s does not decrease so much when compared with the melt viscosity at a temperature of 280 ° C. and a shear rate of 1 rad / s. The point was confirmed. That is, the polyester of the comparative example has lower moldability or melt viscosity characteristics at the time of extrusion molding at a higher temperature than the polyester of the example.

  In addition, the polyester resin of the comparative example is in a state where shear force is not applied before or after extrusion, that is, in a state where the shear rate is 0 rad / s, when isosorbide is contained at 70 wt% in the diol component. The melt viscosity was 511 Pa · s, and in other cases the melt viscosity was less than 500 Pa · s. In other words, when the polyester resin of the comparative example is used, the final molded product may have a relatively non-uniform thickness, or the shape stability may be lowered, which leads to the production of a large-capacity or large-area molded product. Problems may appear in the application of.
